TEKKEN 7 |OT| How I killed your mother

Is anyone else having a problem with this game's lobby loading times? Like 9 out of 10 times I find the lobby never loads up for me before I lose my turn. I can view chat and the people in the room but the rest of the room never loads up for me. I'm running it on a PS4 Pro

Story mode was fine. About as dumb and hilarious as Injustice 2.

God, I really like Jin (so nice and clean kind of), but I've always felt he is sooo underpowered.
Quite limited/predictable in combos and a bit slow in general. Decent punches through.
Anyone else play him?

Online, I always feel like an underdog, looking at some good Ling Xiaoyu or Raven players. All the new chicks are crazy as well...

Jin is the closest the game has to a 'Ryu', he does everything pretty damn well, has pretty safe buttons and solid but unspectacular damage.
 
You mean... a weekend?

If you wanna get technical, the problems cropped up all day Thursday. Aris and other players would get drops all day and have like one fight inbetween ten plus drops. Even the server lists were populating the same people for them. And Thursday night is when it got worse.

I think harada just changes her gender randomly for the lols now. But Elenora is her name and has been confirmed as canonly a female, that's been established for 6 years

They rolled back on that since Tekken 6, she's back to being ambiguous.

I mean you can give him a moustache in customisation and everything.

4 days of cheat code fixes. 4 days of most people of various skill levels still in the same kyu/dan. 4 days of loss connections.

I wonder when the actual patch is going to drop.

Expecting anyone to isolate, fix, test and pass through certification a fix for something like this is hilarious.

Especially over a weekend.

As a new player (to fighting games generally), this game is seriously overwhelming. I guess in a good way but still overwhelming.

The lingo is confusing as well. "-13 on block", "high crush", "hit confirm", etc. and I'm like, excuse me?

I obviously didn't know what I was getting into! I just liked playing Tekken 3 with friends back when I was 12 years old LOL

It's the same issue on pc on day 1. I couldn't connect with anyone in lobbies and warm up. Now it's better and I can connect with players but not all the time. And despite being the most active fighting game on steam, the number of people in matchmaking was small.

But hey 4 days is better than over a year of no response.

Which character is this? I can't tell.

I think expecting a fix for this in less than a week over the course of the first weekend is crazy.

Haha me too mate, me too.
 
Aw man, I didn't pre-order T7 so I didn't get a code for Eliza. Is she really a pre-order exclusive or will she be available to buy separately eventually (because I don't see her in the PSN Store).

Yeah, that's hilarious, especially because I didn't say any of that.

Again, not saying that they should have fixed it ASAP. Just saying it's been four days of hell for PS4 owners.

I tried Shaheen yesterday. My end results were

f, f + 3, f+2,4,4,dash f+2,4,4

u/f+4,4,3, dash, f+2,4,4

I really like the character. He reminds me of Miguel in some ways. He also has a

d/f+2, which 4,3 I believe connects, I want to work in d+2 into d/f+4 or something...

Sorry for typos, I thought I had had it memorized

You can get much better than that.

From most launchers you get 3~d/f~2, f+2,4,4 S! dash d/b+2~d/f~3. Easy and strong damage.

As an old player, I still feel that way. XD

Is funny sometimes reading or asking about easy combo inputs, expecting replies with button prompts, but instead: "Oh, sure: f2, u3, 4, 3, d1"...and me all like..."wut?". XD

Added Guilty Gear Rev2 to the current fighters rotation. Was doing the tutorial which is nice, except no button prompts. But a "pink P" instead of Square. Struggled at first, but managed. XD

So, yeah. Don't feel bad. Just enjoy your time and have fun...and patience.

If lobbies aren't working barely 50% of the time then there's still something wrong. The issue is that online play should be a convenience rather than having to put work in. If it takes the same amount of work as it would take me to go around someone's house, or invite someone over to play some Tekken then online isn't working as intended.

He touched the black heart of a mod
Once upon a time art assets took 1/5th of the time and effort to create that the current generation does.

Oh don't give me that. They ported over most of the customizations from last-gen anyway, and upon close inspection, the customizations in 7 don't really look much better texture or model wise than those in Tekken 6.

Sweet! Well, I guess the thing I'm mostly confused about when it comes to the jargon are the "minus" numbers. I'm guessing it refers to frames but I'm not sure.

For example, someone a few pages back asked this:
"i.e. should should i avoid strings that end with me at -11 on block?"

Can someone translate this question for me or give an example what they mean?

Dis game fun as hell. Played some tekken in arcades as a kid, but returning it after having some fighting game experience makes learning t7 really fun. Been trying out dragunov, love how he crawls in on his belly like a creep and his buttons seem really strong

From my experience and a lot of folk on discord they do work, and if you are trying to say to me that making a simple post(one post) on discord looking for online games takes as much effort as contacting your friend and then hopefully walking to his house then you are truly lost.

I mean it takes one post to message my friends. So it's the same effort. The problem is lobbies aren't even working 100%. I've not had 1 game with any of my friends online that hasn't kicked us back to the lobby.
 
I'm really hoping the majority of the DLC costumes really aren't bikini, idol, school clothes like the news has hinted at. Tag 2 had a lot of fun alt costumes, so I was hoping for stuff around the lines of that.

Interesting, I was rushing to to find something to follow up after his f,f+3. Thanks

He has some good two hits. Remind me of Paul after his numerous revisions.

If thats the case for you, then you just got to wait. Unfortunate , hopefully the will resolve it this week.

could never
Anyone know or can link some Dragunov combos? everything I have watched makes no sense due to lack of inputs.

Really need some better wall carry and juggles, mine are super basic.
